Why Wear SBR Gear In Public?

ryanspeer2001 · 10-01-09, 08:15 AM

'Cause it feels good man.

Love wearing the SBR stuff out in public and having people ask about the site and such. It is good for the health of SBR to have free advertising.

I have found it is not a bad strategy to "advertise" a complusive gambling personality at the poker table, especially if you do not play poker compulsively

I occasionally wear the SBR hat in public. I don't even notice people looking above my eyes to read the wording on the hat.

ztballer · 10-01-09, 08:17 AM

My family and friends don't know I'm a gambler.

I placed an order for the mug last night as a gift for my sister but I won't know how to explain the SBR logo on it.

I actually just starting using my backpack today. Keep my laptop, gambling papers, gun, rubber chicken, gum, etc in it.

Wish the girl in your avatar was wearing some SBR gear.. Hell, even a burlap sack would be an improvment.. Put some clothe's on that lady..

onthewhat · 10-01-09, 08:18 AM

Maybe send a message to people that you cannot afford clothes because you gamble so you wear free gambling shirts

Basically you are telling the public if you gamble like me then you will not be able to buy clothes and only wear free stuff

Its kind of like a Gambling PSA by wearing SBR gear

Basically telling the public you lost your shirt gambling and now are wearing an SBR T with a dunce barreled in, screaming obscenities with a dead rat on his head and swim goggles on.

I get alot of attention for my nike sbr duffel

chrisharvard01 · 10-01-09, 10:35 AM

I approached a guy in a bar wearing BETUS gear.

He told me he was up $1,400 for the year but he only plays $20 parlays.

He also told me BETUS charges him $40 for any withdraw. No freebies.

thejrichshow85 · 10-01-09, 10:42 AM

dont care who knows, Jrich is a proud gambler !

gambler4life!

JamesGenius · 10-01-09, 10:45 AM

i would never wear any sbr gear, i mean im a college kid its just going to make you look like a jackass. Everyone around me knows i know a gamble a lot, im open about going to the casino frequently or betting on games. But i did invest in a sbr money clip and shot glass

yisman · 10-01-09, 10:51 AM

I wear it in public.

pavyracer · 10-01-09, 10:56 AM

I wear it in public. Noone has a clue what SBR is and noone has ever asked me a question which is good.

konck · 10-01-09, 11:07 AM

One person at the track asked me what SBR stands for....that hat is nice

same, never got asked about the hat, which says SBR, of course.

I think I once got asked about the barreled in t-shirt.

All your doing is certifying your a compulsive gambler to the public. I like to keep the gambling discreet in public because it is not accepted. Why tell the world your a compulsive gambler by wearing SBR gear?

If you're referring to the General Public jj, people who know nothing about you, concluding that you're a compulsive gambler based upon a logo on a shirt or hat you're totally overestimating the level of interest that people have in what other anonymous strangers are doing with their lives jj.

Sit with a 12 pack of Michelob on a freeway overpass at night and watch the vehicles pass below, the headlights go by, all of those are lives on their own course passing you by and you will never know what became of 99.996% of these people. Same basic degree of "connection" is accomplished between passing strangers jj. Same deal with the passing stranger on foot just a lower percentage that you'll never see again. Ships in the Night dude. Maybe you see the guy at the Deli again, understand how you might hesitate to wear an SBR shirt to a Bank when applying for a loan but general public jj, are you serious?. No one gives a shit what you're doing man, how'd you ever get the impression that they do?

You are not Brittney Spears jj and you are not either of the plain-faced idiots getting famous by unleshing babies onto an already overpopulated world so that Society can raise these kids for them, you are not Jon or Kate and you are not OctoMom dude so therefore you're totally overestimating the level of people's interest in what your doing.

You 'spect if you wear a Monster dot com hat folks would conclude that you're a SeaMonster jj?

If you do happen to encounter that one in a hundred thousand person who actually concludes that you're a "compulsive gambler" based upon a logo on clothing, avoid further contact with that person for they are an idiot.

The only thing even remotely in the neighborhood of what you've alluded to is women basing their first impression of a man upon his shoes which is appropriate bcuz nearly without fail a man wearing tired old messsed up shoes or flip flops will be an asshole. Thats scientific though...I have no idea where you come up with this theory that people care what logo is on your hat...unless it was a Swastika or the NAMBLA logo....just makes no sense to me jj.

You're also giving people way to much credit for ability to think at all, to rationalize...to "connect dots".

You should wear SBR apparel bcuz to do so would be to support a place that provides you stuff, contests, place to post, interaction with other degens. Priceless.

Additionally some SBR apparel is stylish, Tommy Bahama shirt for example. Logo on that is professional and looks like a logo that'd belong to a Rodeo Circuit anyway....risk you'd run with the Bahama is folks might conclude you're a Bull Rider which needless to say could really work in your favor....in the right setting. Pussy Magnet in a country bar or just strolling through a trailer park or at a NASCAR race or any Southern US courtroom on Traffic Court Day.

Some SBR apparel could even prove to be beneficial jj if you wore it such as if you were to encounter rejection from your Avatar Angel you could use this piece of SBR apparel to transform your appearance and take a second run at her:

And who are these people anyway that you say "do not accept" gambling?, that look down on gamblers? These people you describe that appear to be in need of a huge dose of FugOff? How are their opinions important jj? Are you delivering pizzas? Engaged in a popularity Contest? Running for the School Board?!?

Fvkk 'em all jj. Wear SBR Stuff.

The same reason i occasionally wear marijuana related shirts in public. I don't really give a **** what anyone thinks about me, especially random people whom I don't know personally. Worrying what other people think of you is no way to go through life. If people are going to think less of me for the clothes I wear then they can go **** themselves.

I will give 10 points to the one who tells me how I figured out who zubzub is.

jellobiafra · 10-04-09, 12:31 PM

I had a fleeting thought it was Loshak earlier, but then something made me think no. I think I know who Loshak is though.

I'll will also wear sportsbook (or physical casino) related stuff but not online poker stuff when I play live... Never thought it was a bad thing if people thought (or, in closer actuality, knew) I was a sports betting degen... On the other hand I always thought it was kindof cheesy to be decked out in online poker crap unless you actually have an endorsement deal and all the crap I have was free as I typically won't pay (through points or whatever) to wear a company's logo...

Although this is probably shaded through my own perception of poker as work and sports betting as entertainment I still would rather use my points obtained from playing and betting for more cash equivalent shit (like tourney entries, freeplays, etc.)...

I do have a fulltilt bathroom robe that I got for my wife that I pretty much reclaimed and wear around the house all the time.. I also bought a Binion's Horseshoe hat right after they were sold to Harrah's that I eventually wore out... And, although they are kindof at polar opposites, the two things I would definitely pay to obtain are a hat/shirt from Pinnacle or something from the Western Casino in Vegas...

flyingillini · 10-04-09, 12:37 PM

I wear my Heritage Shirts more than SBR but I sport both of them.
